Once Facebook began to grow from a university networking site to a worldwide success, Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker hired Mike Buzzard of Cuban Council to design a logo for the company.
The logo that Buzzard designed is almost identical to the logo that Facebook uses to this day, as the company has made only minor changes to their original logo over the years. In an interview, Buzzard explains some of the design decisions of the logo, saying, “It was a modification of the typeface Klavika, which was designed by Eric Olson. Type and graphic designer, Joe Kral, who was a good friend that was working closely with Cuban Council at the time, completed the type modifications and final word mark, whilst I oversaw the project.”

Interestingly, the blue color scheme of the logo was chosen due to a vision condition that Mark Zuckerberg suffers from called deuteranopia. Deuteranopia is form of color blindness that makes it difficult for someone to distinguish between colors. However, the one color that someone who suffers from deuteranopia is able to easily distinguish is blue.

In the time since Buzzard completed his original design for the Facebook logo, only minor changes have been made, most of which you probably wouldn’t even notice if you weren’t looking for them. Facebook has stuck by the simplicity and recognizability of their logo, opting to keep it as a stable aspect of the company in spite of the fact that website itself has changed dramatically over the years.

I barely notice this change.
